Dream the Size of Freedom: How African Liberation Mobilized New Left Internationalism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2025) by Dr. R. Joseph Parrott explores how anti-colonial movements in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau reshaped US activist engagement with the Global South from the 1960s through the 1970s and influenced American foreign policy as the Vietnam War drew to a close. These Portuguese African liberation movements, led by nationalists like Eduardo Mondlane and Amílcar Cabral, built global solidarity networks to support their military and social challenges to empire while defending against Western intervention. US activists disillusioned with the Cold War came to see African self-determination as central to global campaigns for racial and economic justice. A broad coalition ranging from Black Power radicals to religious liberals mobilized against the North Atlantic alliance with Portugal. In the process, this grassroots movement helped define a New Left Internationalism that championed decentralized, multiracial organizing and a collaborative vision of US foreign policy to redress historic inequalities between Global North and South. Drawing on more than fifty oral histories and research in government and activist archives on three continents in English, Portuguese, French, and Afrikaans, Dr. Parrott reconstructs the transnational anti-imperial network that injected Global South priorities into US political debates. Popular protests and informational campaigns led to collaborations with legislators eager to constrain the powerful executive branch. In 1976, this grassroots-legislative alliance halted Gerald Ford's anti-communist intervention against the Soviet-backed government of newly independent Angola. This victory of New Left Internationalist ideas anticipated future anti-apartheid and Latin American peace movements while also fueling a conservative revival of Cold War containment. By exploring US engagement with the contested process of African decolonization, Dream the Size of Freedom highlights the origins of two contrasting visions of American foreign policy that defined debates over the country's proper role in the Global South into the 1990s. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

L'Agence internationale de l'énergie pointe dans son rapport annuel, publié en fin de semaine dernière, les tensions sur la disponibilité des minéraux critiques et une hausse importante des prix de certains d'entre eux. Le continent africain est évidemment un acteur central dans cette compétition mondiale et tente de tirer son épingle du jeu par différents moyens. Il y a d'abord le levier de l'offre et les répercussions sur les prix. L'année 2025 a été marquée par une hausse des cours d'un grand nombre de ces métaux critiques. « Les prix des métaux de base tels que l'aluminium, le cuivre et l'étain ont augmenté d'un tiers entre janvier 2025 et avril 2026, avec des cours du cuivre qui ont atteint des sommets. Les prix des matériaux destinés aux batteries se sont également redressés après une baisse en 2023 et 2024 », détaille Tim Gould, l'économiste en chef de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie. Le conflit au Moyen-Orient est en cause, mais pas seulement : « Les prix du lithium ont plus que doublé, tandis que ceux du cobalt ont augmenté d'environ 130%, en grande partie en raison des restrictions à l'exportation imposées par la République démocratique du Congo. » Après avoir suspendu les exportations de cobalt, la RDC a remplacé l'interdiction par un système de quotas. Kinshasa n'est pas le seul producteur africain à jouer sur ce levier. Tim Gould lors d'une présentation du rapport : « Ce que vous voyez actuellement à l'écran, c'est une forte augmentation du nombre de restrictions commerciales. Désormais, il ne s'agit plus seulement de la Chine. D'autres pays ont également mis en place de nouvelles restrictions, notamment le quota d'exportation de cobalt imposé par la RDC, que j'ai déjà mentionné, ainsi que les restrictions commerciales imposées par le Zimbabwe sur le lithium, par le Mozambique sur le graphite. » Madagascar mise sur son graphite Si l'AIE note une baisse des dépenses dans l'exploration minière, certains pays profitent néanmoins de l'engouement pour certains minerais. Au début de l'année, Madagascar a levé son moratoire sur les permis miniers, rouvrant la porte aux investisseurs. Une aubaine, notamment dans le domaine du graphite dominé actuellement par la Chine. « Les pays occidentaux, on va dire, que ce soit des Européens ou des Canadiens, ou des Américains ou des Australiens, sont à la recherche de ressources en graphite. Et il se trouve qu'il y en a à Madagascar. Ce qui permettrait in fine d'acquérir une certaine indépendance vis-à-vis de la Chine », remet en contexte Jean-Jacques Young, consultant minier et fin connaisseur de l'île. Et Madagascar, qui dispose de l'une des trois plus grosses réserves mondiales de graphite, a sa partition à jouer. « Madagascar a une position très privilégiée dans le secteur du graphite, parce que les réserves sont importantes. Elles sont réparties sur plusieurs territoires dans le pays. Donc oui, effectivement, il y a un certain nombre d'investisseurs qui développent aujourd'hui des projets de mine de graphite. C'est tout à fait exact », confirme l'expert.  Les États du continent restent cependant largement tributaires d'investissements extérieurs, du manque d'infrastructure énergétiques. Dans un moyen terme beaucoup misent sur la transformation locale pour améliorer encore plus le profit tiré de leur sous-sol.

Joseph von Benedict returns to the show for a deep dive into one of his favorite classic cartridges: the 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser (aka the 6.5 Swede). Joseph shares a few hunting stories involving the cartridge from Mozambique, New Zealand, and even a giant roe deer in Spain. They break down the cartridge's rich history and Olympic pedigree, why it's still winning fans more than 126 years after its introduction, and how modern handloads and bullets can push the 6.5×55 to near 6.5 PRC performance. If you appreciate classic cartridges that still deliver serious performance with the right loads and shot placement, you'll love this conversation.

Send us Fan MailOne hunter. Twenty-one years. Twenty-nine North American big game species. That's the North American Super Slam, and our guest Mark Carter is the first person to ever join this show that has finished it. We talk through how a goal that sounds like a bragging-rights checklist becomes a long, gritty project built on missed chances, repeat trips, and the kind of discipline most people never see from the outside.We also go straight at the conversation that always shows up around hunting online: conservation, anti-poaching, and the real-world impact of regulated trophy hunting. Mark shares firsthand examples from places like Mozambique where legal hunting permits fund boots-on-the-ground anti-poaching units, protect massive wildland areas, and provide meat to local communities. We dig into why “taking away value” can backfire in countries where wildlife needs a financial reason to be protected, and what hunters often misunderstand about how tightly controlled some African hunts really are.From there, Mark takes us into the travel side: how he uses Safari Club International and Dallas Safari Club connections to vet outfitters, why “cheapest” can ruin the trip you saved for, and what it's like hunting Marco Polo sheep in Tajikistan near the Afghanistan border. We cover his physically toughest hunt (Stone sheep), his most mentally demanding hunt (polar bear on the ice), dangerous game realities up close, and a few stories that will make your heart rate climb, including a Cape buffalo encounter and a black mamba striking the vehicle.If you care about big game hunting, hunting travel, wildlife conservation, or you're just curious what it takes to chase a lifetime milestone the right way, this one is packed.

Promulgué début juin, le nouveau Code minier impose notamment une participation de 15 % de l'État dans tous les projets miniers et inquiète les professionnels du secteur. De notre correspondante régionale, La Chambre des mines du Mozambique redoute que cette nouvelle loi « nuise à l'attractivité du pays », explique Geert Kolk, son vice-président. Le nouveau Code minier interdit également l'exportation de minéraux bruts ou semi-transformés, sauf autorisation ministérielle exceptionnelle conditionnée à des projets de transformation locale. Mais encore faudrait-il que le gouvernement garantisse « un accès fiable à l'eau, à l'électricité, et aux infrastructures logistiques », ajoute Geert Kolk. Minerais critiques Ce Code minier s'applique à toutes les ressources du sous-sol mozambicain, déjà connu pour ses réserves de gaz naturel, de charbon ou encore de pierres précieuses. Mais ce que la présidence mozambicaine vise avant tout, ce sont les ressources en minéraux essentiels à la transition énergétique. D'après l'Institut géologique américain, le Mozambique est aujourd'hui le troisième producteur mondial de graphite derrière la Chine et Madagascar avec une production de 75 000 tonnes en 2024. Le graphite est un matériau essentiel à la production de batteries électriques notamment. Le Mozambique dispose également d'un sérieux potentiel en terres rares. Selon une étude exploratoire du Britannique Altona Rare Earths, le projet de Monte Muambe dans la province de Tete, dans l'ouest du pays, peut fournir 15 000 tonnes de carbonate de terres rares mixte par an, pendant 18 années. Le Mozambique entend donc capitaliser sur ces richesses, alors que la Chine et les États-Unis sont lancés dans une course à l'approvisionnement en ces matériaux essentiels. L'agence américaine de financement du développement a notamment accordé en 2024 un prêt de 140 millions de dollars à l'australien Syrah Resources pour l'exploitation de la mine de graphite de Balama, dans le Cabo Delgado, dans le nord du Mozambique. L'entreprise chinoise DH Mining a quant à elle inauguré en janvier une usine de transformation de graphite, à Nipepe, dans la province de Niassa, dans le nord-ouest du pays. Un investissement de 200 millions de dollars, qui doit produire 200 000 tonnes par an. Une tendance africaine Limiter les exportations de matières premières brutes « est une tendance à l'échelle de l'Afrique, visant à accroître la valeur ajoutée à l'intérieur du pays, et c'est légitime », a concédé le vice-président de la Chambre des mines du Mozambique. Le Zimbabwe a récemment interdit l'exportation de son lithium. En marge du G7, le président du Kenya, William Ruto, a annoncé être proche d'un accord avec les États-Unis sur les minerais critiques à condition qu'ils soient transformés sur place.

How many maize seeds should farmers plant in each hole? Ask the farmers and they say two or three. Agronomists can show them more reliable seeds, where they only need one. But change the seed and everything else changes too; the fertiliser, the spacing, the whole system. This is why getting better technology into the hands of African farmers, and helping them to find ways to improve their profits, is so much harder than it looks.Rachid Laajaj (Universidad de los Andes) and Karen Macours (Paris School of Economics) tell Tim Phillips about an experiment in Kenya in which farmers ran trial plots on their own land for three seasons, comparing input combinations side by side, and were followed for five seasons more.Farmers adopted the new inputs and their profits fell. But they kept experimenting anyway, season after season, until the losses became gains. The most skilled farmers went first, made the most mistakes, and paid the highest price; their neighbours watched, copied, and adopted at a fraction of the cost.Each failed attempt costs a farmer a season. Lower that cost, Laajaj and Macours argue, and you change what is possible for millions of farming households.The research behind this episode:Laajaj, Rachid, and Karen Macours. 2026. "The Complexity of Multidimensional Learning in Agriculture." Econometrica 94 (2): 465-503. To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Rachid Laajaj, and Karen Macours. 2026. "Why farmers struggle to adopt new agricultural technology" VoxDev Talks (podcast). About the guestsRachid Laajaj is Associate Professor of Economics at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, with research spanning technology adoption in agriculture, corruption, and human capital, studied from a micro-development perspective with particular attention to the role of information. He received his PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Karen Macours is a professor at the Paris School of Economics, a senior researcher at INRAE, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research in the Development Economics programme. Her research spans agricultural productivity, rural poverty, social programmes, and early childhood development. She chairs the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment of the CGIAR and is co-editor of the Journal of Development Economics.Research and concepts cited in this episodeThe trials. In 48 randomly selected villages in Kenya, ten farmers per village were invited to run a three-season agronomic trial on a small parcel of their own land, guided by an agronomist. Each trial plot was divided into six subplots; five tested different combinations of modern inputs and one served as a control. The trials occupied a tiny share of each farm, so the direct economic effect was negligible; the point was the opportunity to learn. A further 48 villages served as controls, giving a sample of 960 farmers followed across six seasons of data collection.Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM). The input combinations tested in the trials followed ISFM principles; a sustainable intensification approach that combines improved seed with mineral fertiliser and organic inputs, adapted to local conditions. Its logic is precisely the multidimensionality the paper studies; the components work through their combination, not in isolation.The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) provided the agronomists who guided farmers through the trials. The paper builds on joint work with IITA.The target-input model. The workhorse theory of learning in agriculture, in which farmers learn the optimal quantity of a single input through experience; it dates to work by Foster and Rosenzweig in 1995 and underlies much of the literature on social learning, including Conley and Udry's study of pineapple farmers in Ghana. Laajaj and Macours extend it to many interdependent inputs, where adopting one requires re-optimising the others; what Laajaj calls the curse of multidimensionality.Measuring farmer skills. The origin of this project; Laajaj and Macours spent years developing measures of farmers' cognitive, non-cognitive, and technical skills, work that circulated as CEPR Discussion Paper 13271, "Measuring Skills in Developing Countries" (gated). Asking farmers agronomic questions revealed that many had no single right answer; the answer depended on everything else the farmer was doing.Employment in agriculture. Macours notes in the episode that agriculture accounts for half of employment in sub-Saharan Africa, rising to as much as two-thirds when the wider agro-food sector is included.Conservation agriculture. A prominent example of a knowledge-intensive sustainable practice; it combines minimal tillage, crop rotation, and the retention of crop residues, so a farmer must learn several new practices at once and find a combination that works.More VoxDev Talks episodesAfrican agriculture's underappreciated supply side.

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. The hardest part of faith isn't learning new ideas, it's letting God rewire our default setting from me to us. We open Philippians 2 and face a painfully honest question: if God does his greatest work through a people, what keeps us from becoming that people? The answer isn't mainly external pressure, bad circumstances, or a lack of resources. It's the subtle, everyday pull of selfish ambition and conceit, the quiet habits that make our preferences, our schedule, and our rights the center of the story.We talk about why real Christian unity is not uniformity. Paul doesn't call the church to become identical; he calls us to move in the same direction under the same Lord. Along the way, we share a perspective-shifting story from Malawi and Mozambique where “help” shows up instantly and collectively, even from strangers with almost nothing to spare. That contrast challenges how easily we ask, “What works best for me?” instead of the question that can heal a home, a friendship, or a congregation: “What strengthens us?”Then we look at Jesus, the one who had every right to be served yet chose the towel, the cross, and the path of surrender. The cross doesn't only reconcile individuals to God; it creates one family, breaking hostility and turning strangers into brothers and sisters. That reality comes into sharp focus at communion, where personal repentance meets corporate identity and we're invited to embrace the people Jesus died to create.

The Secrets We Hide by Karin Slaughter. This is the second in her North Falls series, set in a small town after the shooting of a woman and her daughter and the subsequent investigation carried out by the local sheriff, which uncovers secrets and lies aplenty. It's a classic small town where everybody knows everybody else, but don't necessarily see them as they really are. Very cleverly constructed and a terrific addition to Karin Slaughter's extensive body of thrillers. Blood Will Flow by Alex Perry. Some years ago, an enormous gas field was discovered in Mozambique, after which the wealthy foreign companies arrived and started to export the gas, benefiting themselves and the West, but leaving the local people no better off. The French company TotalEnergies managed an enormous operation there, paying lip service to the notion of adequate security and when a rebel ISIS group arrived and carried out a vicious attack, help was not forthcoming. The book is populated with oil magnates, corporate greed, mercenaries and billionaires and is a strong indictment of an industry completely lacking a moral compass.

It's Friday, July 3rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ethiopian Christian convert from Islam attacked and forced to flee As a child in Gawo Kebe, Ethiopia, Taha Dinka faithfully attended the mosque and adhered to his community's Islamic beliefs. He never imagined his life would ever take a different direction, reports International Christian Concern. In 2019, Dinka heard the Gospel and decided to follow Jesus. He said, “When I accepted Christ, I felt peace in my life. I believed God had rescued me from darkness.”   However, the decision that brought him hope also opened the door for rejection, threats, and persecution. Soon after his conversion, Dinka began facing strong opposition from those closest to him because of his faith in Christ.    Dinka said, “People I loved turned against me, and some even told me I had betrayed my family and my religion. Others warned me that I would suffer or die if I continued following Christ.”   Christian converts from Islam in Muslim-majority areas often face violence and even death threats. In August 2025, Dinka said, “I was violently attacked and forcefully removed from my home because I had refused to renounce Christianity. The attacks left me injured and traumatized. I was beaten because I would not deny Jesus. At that moment, I realized my life was truly in danger.”  He was forced to flee in search of safety. In Matthew 10:22, Jesus said, "You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” House Speaker Johnson puts SAVE Act in budget reconciliation bill Here in the United States, On Wednesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is aiming to push the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, through a third budget reconciliation bill, reports NewsNation. Johnson's remarks came shortly after President Trump canceled a signing ceremony for a sweeping bipartisan housing package, saying he will not sign the legislation until the Senate passes the voter ID bill. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and the presentation of an ID to cast a ballot. The bill passed the House, but has stalled in the Senate, where Democrats have vowed to oppose it, leaving it short of the votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Senate Republican Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota has repeatedly dismissed Trump's calls to eliminate or reform the filibuster in order to pass the bill. Johnson talked to the president about adding the SAVE America Act to the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA so that the entire bill including the funding of the troops and the SAVE America Act would only need a simple majority vote.  Here's Speaker Johnson at the Wednesday press conference. JOHNSON: “The SAVE America Act, as passed in February unanimously by all Republicans -- and that's components of the proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID when you show up to vote, that will be merged onto the [National Defense Authorization Act] and transmitted to the Senate as one bill. That's the most efficient, effective way to do it.” Call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them, whether they are Democrat or Republican, to support the National Defense Authorization Act which has the SAVE America Act added to it. Clarence Thomas: Birthright citizenship devalues what it means to be American citizen In a lengthy dissent, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took the majority to task for interpreting the Constitution to mean that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States, regardless of the legal status of the parents, Thomas argued that the ruling “devalues” what it means to be an American citizen. In the 6-3 decision on June 30th, the majority held that an executive order President Donald Trump issued on the first day of his second term violated the Constitution. The order directed that only children born on American soil to legal residents are automatically citizens of the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment states, in part, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” In his dissent, Thomas, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, noted as Trump previously argued, that the Fourteenth Amendment was passed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. It was in direct response to the Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court decision of 1857, which held that blacks were not citizens. Thomas wrote, “Both the Civil Rights Act [of 1866] and the Citizenship Clause [of the Fourteenth Amendment] guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United States.” He added, “Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority,” Under Trump's proposal, birthright citizenship would be limited to those with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Babies born to temporary visitors or people who entered the country illegally would not be citizens at birth, reports NBC News. Young Washington movie in theaters tonight On the cusp of America's 250th birthday tomorrow, Angel Studios* and Wonder Project release the movie “Young Washington” nationwide tonight. Watch the trailer. It follows the early life of George Washington as he transforms from an ambitious, awkward youth into a military commander. Facing class barriers, he secures a job surveying the Ohio Valley, only to stumble into the bloody triggers of the French and Indian War. Directed by Jon Erwin, who also produced the House of David TV series, the historical drama explores Washington's steep climb into Virginia's upper crust. William Franklyn-Miller, the 22-year-old British actor, portrays George Washington, Ben Kingsley portrays Robert Dinwiddie, and Kelsey Grammer portrays Thomas Fairfax. When setbacks shake George's faith in a kind, loving God, he gets angry. He tells his mother, “Providence placed me here. Why? For me to fail?” Focus on the Family says that Mary Washington, George's mother, serves up one of the movie's best lines. She says, “Failure is the tutor sent by God. If you don't learn from it, you fail twice. If you do learn from it, you've earned wisdom.” After George improbably survives a disastrous battle, a Native American chief—one who fought alongside the French—demands to meet George. His own warriors had George in their sights repeatedly. He claims they “never miss.” And yet, somehow, George stands before him, uninjured. The Indian chief tells him, “The Creator chose you. You have been shielded by the Spirit.” (Get the booklet entitled The Bulletproof George Washington by David Barton) Shortly thereafter, George shows up in Virginia Lt. Gov. Robert Dinwiddie's office with a bullet hole in his hat and a well-earned reputation for surviving impossible situations. Listen to the scene from the “Young Washington” movie. DINWIDDIE: “What happened, Washington? All those bullet holes in your jacket? How are you alive?” WASHINGTON: “I don't know.” Proverbs 16:9 says, "A man's heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps". The movie, Young Washington, dramatizes the events leading up to the French and Indian War, including the war's initial bloody triggers. PluggedIn.com warns that the film is not suitable for young children because there's plenty of fighting, shooting and chopping. And while none of it is particularly bloody or gory, it may come as a shock for those expecting a gentler “Christian” film. *Note: Angel Studios is owned by the Mormons also known as the “Church” of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Cetshwayo had sought refuge in Nkandla as his arch enemy, Zibhebhu, turned his attention to the royalists living along the Zululand Coastal plain. Soon Somkhele of the Mphukunyoni and the emaNgweni people were hiding in the swamps and reed-beds of the sub-tropical bush along the Indian Ocean. Melmoth Osborne was the resident commissioner of Zululand and a committed foe of Cetshwayo's royal line, a supporter of Zibhebhu. As Cetshwayo waited for the civil war to die down, he came to the conclusion that it was imperative to convince Melmoth of his right to rule. It was time to come out of hiding and to seek shelter from the commissioner — which he did under Henry Francis Fynn's junior's escort in October 1883. Cetshwayo was placed in a small house alongside his father's old kwaGqikazi homestead where he could contemplate how far he'd fallen. There he remained until 8th February 1884. Had he lived longer, he would have heard that his old Nduna and councillor, Mnyamana, had escaped with his life after being poisoned. The Zulu king was another going to be so fortunate. Shortly after he ate, at 2.30 pm on 8th February, he was overtaken by convulsions, then he collapsed and died a short while later. His family members refused permission for a post-morten, surgeon Scott declared the death had been caused by heart disease. However, historians know the truth - Cetshwayo had most likely been poisoned - placed either in his beer, or his snuff. While it's not known what poison was used, my research into the symptoms and passage of death points to Erythrophleum lasianthum, commonly known as the Swazi ordeal tree, is a medium to large leguminous tree native to southern Africa. It is notable for its exceptionally toxic bark and seeds, traditional cultural significance, and ecological value as a component of woodlands and forests across parts of South Africa, Eswatini and Mozambique. All parts of the tree—especially the bark, seeds, and roots—contain powerful alkaloids and cardiac toxins. Historically, extracts from the bark were used in ordeal poison practices in parts of southern Africa, giving rise to the common name "ordeal tree." The tree has also been used in traditional medicine, but these practices carry substantial risk because the difference between a toxic and potentially therapeutic dose is extremely small. Symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, tremors, irregular heartbeat, seizures, respiratory failure, and death. The second option is Boophone disticha — a bulb known across southern Africa for centuries and Zulu herbalists were fully aware of its toxicity. Every part of the plant—especially the bulb—contains powerful Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and is highly poisonous to people, livestock, and pets. Traditional healers have employed carefully prepared doses for medicinal and ceremonial purposes but like the Swazi Ordeal Tree, there is a tight margin between a traditional dose and a dangerous one. Exposure to flowers in confined spaces alone causes eye irritation or headaches, giving rise to the common name sore-eye flower. Still, this bulb is highly sought after by modern collectors because of the bulb's beauty. Just wash your hands after fiddling with it, folks. A third possibility is the Acokanthera which causes death through cerebral hypoxia, and a fourth, poison beans, the species of Abrus precatorius in particular — but those can take days to kill you and Cetshwayo perished in an hour or two. Zibhebhu was immediately blamed and he would pay eventually for his actions. But first, the king had to be buried. First he was placed in a sitting position and tied to his hut's central post. The building was sealed with clay and mud so that no smell could emerge and Cetshwayo's body was left there for a few weeks to putrefy. The royal attendants asked Melmoth Osborne for permission to take the body to the emaKhosini valley so he could be buried with his ancestors, but the commissioner refused.

One of the Family by Mark Edwards Patrick couldn't believe his luck when Holly fell for him. She's wickedly funny, beautiful, and with an intimidatingly successful father, Charles.

C'est une industrie à mi-chemin entre l'agroalimentaire et la pharmacie. À Madagascar, l'usine Tanjaka Food fabrique chaque année 3 000 tonnes de produits nutritionnels pour combattre la malnutrition infantile. Parmi eux, « l'aliment thérapeutique prêt à l'emploi » est destiné aux enfants souffrant d'émaciation sévère, la forme la plus mortelle de malnutrition. Sa production locale a permis aux acheteurs de réduire leurs coûts et d'augmenter le nombre d'enfants traités. Avec notre correspondant à Antanarivo, Guilhem Fabry Des arachides d'Inde et d'Argentine, du lait en poudre importé d'Europe, des huiles, du sucre et surtout une formule de 30 vitamines et micronutriments... Tous ces ingrédients sont assemblés à Antananarivo pour aboutir à « l'aliment thérapeutique prêt à l'emploi » : une pâte épaisse respectant les meilleurs standards sanitaires. « On va passer sur une première phase qui est le pré-mélange. On va intégrer les trois premières matières principales. Ensuite, on va passer par la thermisation. Elle sert à éliminer tous les risques microbiologiques », explique la directrice de division de la marque Tanjaka Food, Randianina Rasoamiaramanana. « L'ensemble de nos matières premières sont importées, parce que nous sommes tenus de respecter un cahier des charges déjà très précis. Malheureusement, actuellement à Madagascar, nous n'avons pas encore de fournisseurs qui arrivent à fournir les matières premières à la hauteur des exigences imposées par ce produit-là », précise-t-elle. Filiale du groupe malgache Basan, Tanjaka Food qui emploie 89 employés est capable de produire jusqu'à 6 000 tonnes d'aliments nutritionnels par an, contre 1 000 tonnes à sa création en 2009. « Sur les deux dernières années, on a beaucoup exporté notamment au Zimbabwe, au Mozambique, un peu au Soudan du Sud. C'est l'Unicef, notre partenaire, qui redirige les besoins en fonction de la situation nutritionnelle dans les différents pays alentours », détaille encore Randianina Rasoamiaramanana. « Couper sur les coûts logistiques pour rendre ce produit beaucoup plus disponible » Mais la majorité de la production est réservée à Madagascar. Mathieu Joyeux est chef de la nutrition pour l'UNICEF dans le pays : « On a, à peu près en moyenne chaque année, entre 100 000 et 120 000 enfants atteints de malnutrition aiguë sévère. La majorité se trouve dans le Grand Sud et le Sud-Est. Mais on a aussi des taux de malnutrition aiguë sévère très élevés en zone urbaine, à Antananarivo. » Le traitement dure quatre à huit semaines, à raison de trois sachets par jour. « Avant ce produit thérapeutique, il y a une trentaine d'années, il fallait renutrir l'enfant huit fois par jour sous supervision médicale continue. La révolution pour nous de ce produit, c'est qu'on a pu faire sortir les enfants des hôpitaux », rappelle Mathieu Joyeux. « Maintenant, ils prennent leur traitement à la maison. Et on a fait réduire les coûts globaux en appuyant la création de nouvelles usines de production, y compris une production locale ici à Madagascar, qui nous permet de couper sur les coûts logistiques pour rendre ce produit beaucoup plus disponible », met-il en avant. La quasi-totalité des enfants souffrant d'émaciation à Madagascar reçoivent l'aliment thérapeutique. Ceux atteints de malnutrition modérée, dont le nombre a augmenté de 46% depuis 2024 dans le Grand Sud, n'ont en revanche pas tous accès à des suppléments nutritionnels adaptés. La faute à des financements internationaux en forte baisse. L'usine de Tanjaka Food ne tourne aujourd'hui qu'à 50% de sa capacité.

Burnout expert Dr Anton Janse van Rensburg is a practising medical doctor from Pretoria, South Africa, with 27 years of experience as an Integrative Practitioner. Besides his MBChB degree, he has a Master's degree in Applied Human Nutrition from the University of Pretoria, and an Advanced Management Diploma from Manchester Business School. He is also a trained metal toxicologist.His clinical practice focuses on burnout, mood disorders, adjuvant therapy for cancer patients, auto-immune disorders, severe intestinal conditions, and chronic infectious diseases.Summary of PodcastKey TakeawaysBurnout is a systemic depletion, not just fatigue. It results from neglecting many small, daily habits (rest, connection, diet), not just from overwork.Dr. Anton's method is prescriptive and holistic. It prioritises daily habits (e.g., 20-min power naps, strong connections) and uses comprehensive tests to find root causes before considering medication.Nutrition is a primary tool for managing chronic conditions. A high-fat, low-carb diet can reverse Type 2 diabetes and stabilise mood by reducing cravings for refined carbs and optimising brain chemistry.Purpose and challenge are critical for longevity. Complete retirement is a risk factor for rapid aging; staying engaged with meaningful work or new challenges is essential for maintaining brain health.Burnout: Root Causes & Holistic SolutionsDefinition: A systemic depletion from neglecting many small, interconnected daily habits (physiological, emotional), not just from overwork.Origin of Insight: Dr. Anton's experience managing health for 9,000 workers on a high-stress construction site in Maputo, Mozambique (2000–2003).This role involved diagnosing 30–40 malaria cases daily and managing fatalities, providing a "crossroads" experience that informed his later focus on burnout.Dr. Anton's Prescriptive Approach:Initial Assessment: A deep history of work hours, rest habits, and personal connections.Daily Respite: Prescribes short, scheduled breaks to manage the body's natural circadian dip.Power Naps: 20-minute naps are ideal; naps >1 hour are detrimental to brain health.Social Connection: Emphasises strong relationships with friends, family, and colleagues, citing research on their importance for resilience and longevity.Physiological Testing: Uses comprehensive tests (bloods, stress ECGs) to find root causes, not just manage symptoms.Kevin's Experience: Burnout led to "reduced performance"—sitting at the desk with a large to-do list but accomplishing nothing.Solution: Stepped away from the desk more often and re-prioritised tasks to reduce stress.Mood Disorders & The Role of NutritionDefinition: A broad term for unstable brain chemistry, which can manifest as sadness, cynicism, or even physical fatigue (e.g., heavy limbs, a known symptom of low serotonin).Societal Factors: Increased prevalence in younger generations is linked to social media exposure and a sedentary lifestyle, both of which negatively impact brain chemistry.Nutrition as a Primary Tool:Core Principle: The brain requires healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts, meat) and is harmed by refined carbohydrates.Mechanism: A high-fat, low-carb diet reduces cravings for refined carbs, which drives illness and instability.Case Study (Mood Disorder): A patient with a severe mood disorder saw significant improvement within 48 hours of starting a high-fat, low-carb diet, avoiding hospitalization.Case Study (Type 2 Diabetes): A patient on metformin for 25 years was advised to challenge the medication's necessity.Process: A low-carb, high-fat diet for six months, monitored with fasting insulin and HbA1c tests, can reveal if the pancreas can function without medication.Outcome: If successful, medication can be slowly and carefully reduced.Calorie Counting: Dr. Anton strongly advises against restrictive diets and calorie counting, as they are unsustainable and against human nature.The Future of Work & PurposeAI's Impact: The potential for AI to eliminate jobs raises concerns about a loss of purpose and meaning, which are often tied to work and contribution.Retirement & Longevity: Dr. Anton cautions that complete retirement is a risk factor for rapid aging.Recommendation: Stay engaged with meaningful activities (consulting, volunteering, mentoring) to maintain brain health and purpose.Challenge: The brain, like a muscle, needs to be challenged to grow and stay healthy. Avoiding challenges is detrimental to long-term well-being.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Six ans après la sortie de la toute première compilation consacrée à ces îles jumelles, réunie sous le titre décontracté et insouciant LÉVE LÉVE (« take it easy »), cette nouvelle sélection rassemble 15 titres essentiels issus de singles et d'albums d'artistes emblématiques de la scène locale tels que Sum Alvarinho, Os Úntuès, Conjunto Mindelo, África Negra ou encore Sangazuza. Véritable panorama joyeux et brûlé de soleil des sons et des mouvements de la vie insulaire, cette scène, aussi diverse que les paysages de l'archipel, avait été introduite dans le premier volume à travers certains des groupes et artistes les plus populaires et influents de cette région africaine lusophone. Tout en conservant un lien avec les artistes présents sur cette première compilation, le DJ français au goût éclectique et à la touche chaleureuse, Tom B, propose ici une nouvelle sélection riche et généreuse de morceaux animés par l'esprit de l'indépendance africaine, de la tradition et de la prière. Rarement mise en lumière, voire jamais, la nation insulaire africaine de São Tomé-et-Príncipe et son export musical le plus envoûtant, le Puxa, restent largement méconnus. Fusion transatlantique raffinée mêlant le soukouss congolais, le semba angolais et le merengue, la coladeira capverdienne, le kompa haïtien et des rythmes brésiliens, enrichie de lignes de basse mouvantes, de mélodies délicates et de choeurs santoméens, le Puxa se définit par son groove dansant et rebondissant, ses percussions vives, ses voix suaves et apaisées, ses guitares délicatement pincées et striées à la manière du benga kényan, et une bienveillance omniprésente. São Tomé-et-Príncipe devint tristement célèbre comme point de transit majeur de la traite esclavagiste. Sa position sur l'équateur, au large du Gabon et au coeur de l'Atlantique, en fit une escale stratégique exploitée pour le transport forcé de personnes réduites en esclavage. Il fallut plus de quatre cents ans pour que l'indépendance soit enfin proclamée en 1975. Des groupes présents sur la compilation, comme le célèbre África Negra, incarnent pleinement cette lutte. Sur le premier de leurs deux titres inclus ici, Apoiámos a luta dos nossos irmãos (« Nous soutenons la lutte de nos frères »), ils livrent un hymne libérateur, citant d'autres pays — souvent désignés collectivement comme les PALOP (Pays africains de langue officielle portugaise) — en signe de solidarité : « São Tomé, Príncipe, Angola, Mozambique, Guinée, Cap-Vert… ». Initialement censuré par les autorités portugaises, qui leur interdisaient d'utiliser leur nom célébrant leurs racines africaines jusqu'à l'indépendance de 1975, l'un des groupes les plus populaires de la région renforça encore son ancrage identitaire avec des morceaux comme ce titre de motivation au Puxa puissant, longtemps resté inédit. Ils tournèrent régulièrement en Angola, au Mozambique, à Lisbonne et au Cap-Vert, intégrant de nouveaux membres au fil du temps, dont le célèbre second guitariste Leonildo Barros, arrivé en 1978 et toujours à la tête du groupe aujourd'hui. Dans un esprit similaire, et spécialement remasterisé pour cette compilation, le titre África é país de Tiny das Neves e Conjunto Sol d'África — hymne des années 80 prisé des DJs pour son énergie électrisante — rend hommage au leader révolutionnaire anticolonial et poète Amílcar Cabral. La compilation met également en avant plusieurs autres groupes, dont Sangazuza, de retour avec quatre titres issus de leurs deux LP aujourd'hui très recherchés. Toujours actif aujourd'hui avec une formation plus jeune, le groupe fut initialement fondé en 1969 par le guitariste soliste José Soares Fernandes (alias Rivete) et le chanteur Hyder India. Présents sans interruption à chaque décennie depuis leur création, leur succès local leur valut une diffusion sur Radio STP. Dix ans plus tard, avec un nouveau line-up, ils firent évoluer le son santoméen en y intégrant synthétiseurs et effets studio. Dans les années 1990, Sangazuza connut encore le succès, publiant plusieurs albums solos et deux cassettes en collaboration avec leurs rivaux amicaux África Negra. Morceaux joués : - Sangazuza Mario bi cedo - Sum Alvarinho Cacau - Tiny Das Neves Africa é pais - Bulawê N'Guli Fala, Quinta Das Palmeiras Tira a mao da minha xuxa. ► Album Léve Léve Vol.2 (Bongo Joe 2026) Instagram Bongo Joe - Instagram Tom B. - Bandcamp.     Puis la #SessionLive reçoit le songwriter islandais Asgeir pour la sortie de son 5ème album Julia. Dans son cinquième album studio Julia, le chanteur-compositeur islandais Ásgeir s'aventure dans un territoire intrigant et inexploré. Après avoir collaboré pendant des années avec des traducteurs tels que John Grant et travaillé sur la poésie de son père, Einar Georg Einarsson, Ásgeir a écrit lui-même les paroles de ses chansons pour la première fois de sa longue et brillante carrière. Le résultat est une œuvre profondément contemplative, imprégnée de nostalgie, dans laquelle Ásgeir médite sur ses regrets passés et ses espoirs pour l'avenir, guidé par le spectre du personnage qui donne son titre à l'album. Ásgeir est depuis longtemps salué pour sa folk-pop complexe, ses productions somptueuses et sa voix de fausset mélancolique et émouvante. Ce nouveau sentiment de vulnérabilité imprègne les dix titres de l'album, écrits et enregistrés sur une période de près de deux ans. La plupart des chansons ont d'abord été composées à la guitare, privilégiant la simplicité, la mélodie, la clarté et le sens. La production, développée en collaboration avec Guðm. « Kiddi » Kristinn Jónsson, son partenaire de longue date, reste organique et discrète, permettant à la voix d'Ásgeir, et surtout à son talent d'auteur-compositeur, de s'exprimer pleinement. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Against the Current Live RFI - Ferris Wheel Live RFI  - Glædur (de l'album Sátt) Live RFI.

At 16, after seven years of isolation, pain and physical and emotional abuse Christine Sadry reached a breaking point. She was battered, bruised, and could no longer see a way forward. In that moment of deep despair, she attempted to take her life. As she was slipping into unconsciousness, something deep within her stirred — a spark of life that refused to go out. She called a friend just to thank her for her friendship. Her friend heard something in Christine's voice and sensed something was wrong. That phone call saved her life. And it also became a turning point. That moment of hopelessness became the beginning of her strength.   Christine Sadry was born in Poland, behind the Iron Curtain, and was adopted in 1964 by a Polish American couple living in the United States. After graduating from West Catholic Girls High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she worked at the United States Social Security Administration from 1973 to 1979. She started her 31-year career with the United Nations in 1979, working on international conferences. Later, she began working with the United Nations peacekeeping missions in Angola, Mozambique, former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.    13 Years Lost was selected as a finalist for the Independent Book Publishers Award! The ceremony in St. Paul, Minnesota, was a beautiful celebration of literary voices and creative spirits.                                       Grab your copy NOW Christine had a deep need to give voice to her story that was buried for so long to help others who have endured pain in silence. She wanted to show that even in the face of abandonment, trauma, and isolation, it is possible to heal, to rise and to live a life with hope and meaning. Standing alone in the baggage claim of JFK International Airport, nine-year-old Christine Sario anxiously awaited the arrival of her new parents. After the untimely death of her beloved mother and the abandonment by her father, Christine was sent by her grandmother to the United States and the hope of a better future. Her resilience led her to New York City, where she started over with her daughter, Dana. There, she will begin a remarkable, exciting career at the United Nations. This is the extraordinary story of a Polish immigrant who overcame unthinkable challenges and embraced the American dream. Follow Christine as she defies the odds, travels the world, is blessed by the Pope, and finds true love. C

Foreign nationals in South Africa are facing renewed fears following the latest wave of xenophobic attacks, which have reportedly killed nine Mozambican nationals. Ghana and Mozambique have begun evacuating some of their citizens, while other countries are considering similar moves. We hear from those fleeing the tensions and how they are rebuilding life in their home countries. Then, we head to Lagos to meet acclaimed Nigerian musician and producer Cobhams Asuquo. Born visually impaired, he taught himself to play the piano and went on to help shape the sound of modern African music. BBC Outlook's Tommy Dixon meets him to discuss his journey, his music, and navigating life without sight.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers:Godwin Asediba, Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

Technology isn't magic. But sometimes dropping your spoon in a bowl of soup during a pandemic leads you somewhere extraordinary.In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, Barry O'Kane speaks with Thierry Sanders, founder of Kolekt, a platform connecting waste collectors, buy-back centres, and recyclers across the Global South. Thierry's background spans fintech, microfinance, and living in developing countries from Ecuador to Pakistan to Indonesia, and Kolekt grew directly out of two weeks spent riding around Bali on a motorbike with informal waste collectors, learning how their world actually works.What makes Kolekt's story unusual is the order of operations. Thierry didn't arrive with a product looking for a market. He started with cigarettes, lunch, and genuine curiosity, and the technology followed the problems he discovered: collectors wasting half their time searching for materials that weren't there, workers without phones or bank accounts locked out of digital systems, and facial recognition tools that didn't work for the people who needed them most.The conversation is direct about the harder edges of this work: the fossil fuel industry flooding markets with cheap virgin plastic, governments demanding surveillance data on immigrant workers, and the gap between EPR policy and what actually reaches the people doing the collecting.✨ In this episode:Thierry tells the origin story of Kolekt, from a pandemic soup bowl in Jakarta to 14,000+ waste collector profiles across six countriesWe explore the practical technology challenges of serving users who have no phone, no bank account, and no reliable connectivityThierry explains how Kolekt discovered and worked around racist bias in open-source facial recognitionBarry and Thierry discuss the economics of informal waste collection and why recycled materials cost more than virgin plasticThierry shares his work advising South Asian governments on EPR legislation and the $100 billion opportunity it representsWe hear how Kolekt chose to lose contracts rather than hand over user data to governments targeting immigrant collectors

She left Goldman Sachs, moved to Mozambique for a year, and came back to build one of the most distinct wellness brands in America.  Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures and co-host of The Story of a Brand Show, sits down with Shizu Okusa, Founder & CEO of Apothékary, for a masterclass in what it really means to build a brand system not just a product line. From a New York City billboard to a Series A close, Apothékary is proof that deep roots and radical clarity can outpace any amount of paid media spend. * Three iterations before liftoff. Apothékary started as a pop-up store rooted in Ayurveda, evolved into powders, and eventually landed on liquid supplements, a format Shizu now considers a near-monopoly position. The lesson: your first product is almost never your final one. * Heritage as an operating system, not a mood board. Shizu's Japanese roots show up in how the company hires, iterates, and moves; guided by the principle of Kaizen, continuous improvement. It's not packaging. It's how the business runs. * TikTok crossed a million dollars a month and here's why. Apothékary's TikTok success isn't about chasing the algorithm. It's built on 20,000+ affiliates creating education-first content around a visually distinctive blue liquid dropper that stops the scroll and earns the click. * Retail forced brutal clarity. Entering Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe forced Apothékary to put ingredient benefits bigger than the brand name on packaging. The consumer doesn't have time for your founder story in the aisle and that discipline makes the brand stronger everywhere. * Distribution is the moat. In a category where products get copied, Shizu's sharpest insight is that the real defensibility is distribution,  the ability to play in grocery, health care, and beauty simultaneously, backed by proprietary formulas and Shiseido as a strategic investor. Join us in listening to this episode for one of the most intellectually rigorous and practically useful brand conversations we've had on the show. Rose and Shizu cover signal, thesis, behavior, and proof, the four pillars of a brand that becomes easier to understand and harder to copy over time.  Whether you're a founder, an operator, or an investor, this one will sharpen how you think.  For more on Apothékary visit: https://www.apothekary.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this!

The economy was designed to serve life. At some point, it forgot. This article traces how that happened - through colonial extraction, currency manipulation, and centuries of treating the Earth as an inexhaustible resource - and more importantly, what is already being built in its place. It is also worth naming what is being built against it. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), digital identity systems, and the broader technocratic agenda advancing through institutions like the World Economic Forum represent a competing vision of the future - one where economic participation is surveilled, programmable, and ultimately controlled by the few. That is not a regenerative economy. It is the extractive economy in a new interface. The regenerative economy moves in the opposite direction: toward decentralization, sovereignty, reciprocity, and life. From Time Banks in New York to community currencies in Ecuador to worker cooperatives in Spain, it is not a future vision. It is a present reality, waiting to be joined. And while blockchain and regenerative finance are real and important parts of this picture, the regenerative economy is bigger than any single technology. It is a whole-systems redesign - cultural, spiritual, and practical - of how human beings relate to value, to each other, and to all living beings on Earth.A System Feature | Designed to ExtractA president steps up to the podium in Manila, praising the economic progress their country has fulfilled after, what many of us call “ the plandemic”. Outside the auditorium, a young mother carries her child on her hip, knocking on car windows at a red light, eyes down, asking for alms. The applause inside the hall doesn't reach her. It never does.The president says the currency has strengthened. That prices are coming down. Meanwhile, across the city, a farmer named Rodrigo is standing in the field he has worked for thirty years, calculating whether this harvest will cover the loan he took out before the last typhoon swept his crop away. It didn't. This is not an exception to the economic system. It is a feature of it. A reflection of a culture that does not care about those actually in need.Many nations measure their health through GDP - Gross Domestic Product - which essentially dictates whether or not an economy is “progressing.” It runs under one quiet assumption: that the Earth will keep giving. Indefinitely. Without asking anything in return. That before the calculations around supply, demand, and the balance of everything else, all the raw materials are already ideally supplied.The Earth is answering. Typhoons that once came once a generation now arrive like clockwork. Harvests that fed communities for centuries are failing across the Andes, the Sahel, the Mekong delta. The seasons that indigenous peoples read as living calendars have become erratic, unreliable, grieving. None of this is random. It is a response - accurate and proportional - to an economy built on the assumption that extraction has no cost.If we were truly “abundant” financially, we would not have billions of people at risk of starvation, homelessness, and other manifestations of neglect and poverty. The economy was supposed to serve all life. It has forgotten this. And in forgetting it, it has begun to abandon human life itself.The Story We InheritedMoney was supposed to be a promissory note for the gold reserves one actually held. The paper was a symbol - pointing at something real, something held in a vault somewhere, something that could be touched.Then the notes began circulating. And the longer they circulated, the more people forgot what they were pointing to. Eventually, the circulation gave rise to the idea of turning the notes into currency itself. The symbol became the standard. It became backed not by gold, but by story - a story so strong, so repeated, so programmed into every transaction of daily life, that we began to mistake it for the truth.We placed a middleman between ourselves and our needs. And somewhere along the way, we forgot we had done it. Perhaps, by design. Here is what the story never tells you: the gold itself did not arrive innocently.In 1302, Pope Boniface VIII issued Unam Sanctam, declaring papal authority supreme over all earthly power - making the Earth itself, philosophically, ownable. A century and a half later, that claim became economic policy. Dum Diversas (1452) authorized the enslavement of non-Christians across the globe. Romanus Pontifex (1455) granted Portugal the right to colonize and extract across Africa and the New World. Inter Caetera (1493) extended the same to Spain and the Americas.These were the founding economic legislation of the extractive world we live in - all cloaked in religious language.What followed was centuries of forced extraction. Economists Flynn and Giráldez have documented that colonial American silver - mined through indigenous forced labor in Potosí and across Peru and Mexico - became the standard monetary foundation of early global trade. The gold in the vault was never simply there. It was coercively taken.And then, on August 15, 1971, even that material trace was erased. President Nixon closed the gold window, ending the Bretton Woods system and severing the dollar's convertibility to gold. According to the Federal Reserve's own record, the international community was not consulted. From that moment, currency was backed by nothing but the authority of the government printing it.Knowing that we wrote ourselves into this story, we are now remembering that we can write ourselves out of it. Not only by writing new stories, but by reconnecting with stories that existed long before our current economic situation - stories that are still alive, still practiced, still remembered by the communities that never abandoned them.What Has Always WorkedBefore the conquest of certain nations to centralize power into their hands, other societies practiced more communal and regenerative ways of exchanging value. To them, considering other people and the Earth itself was not an ethical add-on. It was integral to the flourishing of their economies.Pre-colonial PhilippinesLong before the Spaniards arrived, the Philippine archipelago was a major hub in the maritime Silk Road - one of Asia's most active trade networks. Communities exchanged with Chinese, Japanese, Arab, and Indian traders at coastal ports and river settlements.The archipelagic geography made it impossible to consolidate wealth in any single place. Different tribes like the Maranao exchanged surplus agricultural produce, textiles, metalware, and forest products through robust barter systems built on kinship ties and alliances among polities. Value moved between two people who chose to relate. No middleman. Mutual trust was the economic infrastructure.Andean PeoplesThe Quechua people organized their economy around a relational foundation that lives in the language itself. Ayni - sacred reciprocity. Minka - collective community work. Randi-Randi - generalized reciprocity, the understanding that what circulates returns. All three connect to the broader principle of Sumak Kawsay: good living in right relationship with community, land, and the living world.Sumak Kawsay does not separate prosperity from the wellbeing of ecosystems. It understands them as one thing. This recognition runs so deep that Ecuador enshrined it as the central guiding principle for its national development in its 2008 constitution - the living legal inheritance of an ancient economy that knew how to stay.Haudenosaunee in North AmericaIn their 1981 formal statement to the United Nations, the Haudenosaunee Council of Chiefs articulated what their communities had practiced for centuries: that the earth was created for all to use, forever - not for the present generation to exhaust. Under their law, land is held by the women of each clan, who farm and care for it for the benefit of future generations.The Haudenosaunee saw land as a responsibility to be stewarded in trust. Anthropologist Kurt Jordan from Cornell University documented their economic practices and described them as “a reasonably sustainable, localized economy” even under intense external pressure. They had embodied communal stewardship long before theories about such things were written down.Southern Africa“I am because we are.”This is Ubuntu - the philosophy at the core of both social and economic life across Southern Africa. Communities in South Africa and Mozambique relied on mutual aid networks, intergenerational knowledge systems, and participatory rituals as practical economic infrastructure. These systems enhanced community cohesion and collective resilience precisely in the moments when extractive economies failed them. They understood, bone-deep, that no human being thrives in isolation.Diversity of Regen Economic SystemsMany communities across continents are actively rebuilding economic systems beyond the extractive model. The following are not theoretical. They are actively running. Hence, the more diversity of economic systems each person and community practices, the more abundant, unbreakable and independent we are from degenerative systems from governments and corporations that want to control it all. The Commons FoundationOne body of research forms the intellectual foundation for nearly all of them: the life's work of Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. Ostrom spent decades documenting over 800 cases of communities successfully governing shared resources - in Switzerland, Kenya, Guatemala, Nepal, and beyond - without either privatization or state control.Her conclusion was simple and radical: communities do not inevitably destroy what they share. Given the right institutional design, they protect it and pass this duty to the next generation. And her eight design principles for successful commons governance - the framework that emerged from all that fieldwork - describe, as she herself acknowledged, the same governance systems that indigenous communities had been practicing for centuries.Her work is not a new idea. It is a confirmation of ancient ones.Regenerative Economics | Beyond ReFi - The Whole-Systems VisionWhen most people first encounter the term “regenerative economy,” they arrive through crypto. Through ReFi - regenerative finance - and the promise of blockchain as a tool for funding ecological restoration, decentralizing power, and making impact transparent. These are real contributions. They matter.But John Fullerton, founder of the Capital Institute and one of the most rigorous thinkers in this field, spent two decades on Wall Street before arriving at a different and more fundamental question: what if the entire framework of modern finance is running in conflict with how life actually works?Fullerton's work focuses on building an economic framework that supports the long-term health of people, communities, and the planet - not by tweaking the existing system, but by replacing its underlying logic. His core argument is that we are running our society in conflict with the patterns and principles that explain how life works.His answer is what he calls regenerative economics: eight principles drawn from living systems science that describe how healthy economies - like healthy ecosystems - actually function. Diversity. Balance. Circular flow. Robust circulation. Surplus financial capital, in his framework, needs to be recycled and regenerated into other forms of capital - natural, social, and cultural. Not hoarded nor extracted. Composted back into the living system that produced it.ReFi, in Fullerton's framing, is one tool within this larger architecture. Blockchain can decentralize power. Tokenized nature credits can make ecological value legible to markets. Community currencies can circulate value locally. But the technology is only as regenerative as the values underneath it. A crypto project built on extraction logic is still extraction, regardless of the chain it runs on.Regenerative economy is not a financial product. It is a civilizational shift - in how we measure wealth, in what we decide to protect, in whose voices count when decisions are made. ReFi is welcome in that shift. It is one current in a much larger river.Time BanksIn Jackson Heights, Queens, a retired nurse named Gloria hasn't touched the formal economy in months for the things that matter most to her. She spends three hours teaching English to a recent immigrant. Those hours become credits. She spends them on home repairs from a neighbor who knows carpentry. He spends his credits on childcare. The loop keeps moving.This is a Time Bank - a community exchange system built on one radical premise: everyone's time is worth the same. One hour of legal advice equals one hour of gardening equals one hour of emotional support. The hierarchy of market wages disappears. What remains is a web of people who need each other.Edgar Cahn, who developed Time Banking in the 1980s after surviving a near-fatal heart attack, called it “co-production” - the idea that the economy needs what the market can never price: care, community, civic participation, the work of raising children and holding elders. Time Banks make that invisible labor visible, and circulate it back into the community that produced it.Today there are over 500 Time Banks operating in more than 30 countries. Some have formalized into neighborhood institutions. Others run through apps. All of them rest on the same foundation the Quechua called Ayni - sacred reciprocity - translated into the language of modern urban life.Mondragon CorporationThe Mondragon Corporation in Spain's Basque region remains the most studied proof that democratic ownership functions at scale. Founded by six worker-owners in 1956, it now comprises 96 cooperatives employing over 70,000 people, with annual revenues exceeding €11 billion. Workers own the company collectively, vote on strategy at general assemblies, and operate under a constitutionally capped pay ratio of 6-to-1 between the highest and lowest earners.Traditional Dream FactoryIn a 25-hectare village in Alentejo, Portugal, Traditional Dream Factory is a living prototype of the self-sustaining regenerative community - blending collective ownership, ecological restoration, intentional community, and decentralized economy in one working place. They have raised over €1.25 million in total capital across 280+ token holders. Their 2026 build phase is completing co-living rooms, artist studios, a farm-to-table restaurant, a mushroom farm, and a biopool wellness space.AtreyuInvestment, as most of us have encountered it, prioritizes short-term financial returns above all else. Atreyu challenges this at the root by approaching investment through living systems principles and deep relational due diligence. They support their investees to ensure that both the enterprises and the ecosystems they steward realize their potential - together. They focus on early-stage businesses and actively encourage steward-ownership models that enshrine self-governance and purpose orientation.Muyu CoinOne of the first social coins in South America, Based in Ecuador - Muyu serves as an alternative exchange system rooted in community trust and an understanding of sacred economy. It protects the sovereignty of communities in their production, distribution, exchange, consumption, and post-consumption - keeping the loop of value inside the community rather than extracting it outward. It uses Cyclos, an enchrypted platform, a base.It first did an attempt to start in 2015, but not many people showed interest. It then came back very strong in 2020, due to the “plandemic”. People felt the need to have alternative ways to transact that was not controlled by limiting governments. Giving communities complete independence. Currently with over 150+ members who are exchanging goods and services in different nodes throughout the country. From food produce, clothing and art -to- car mechanic, dentists and school teachers serving to the community.Grassroots EconomicsFounded in Kenya, Grassroots Economics supports communities in building their own self-sustaining economies - even when national currency is scarce - through a model called Commitment Pooling.Consider Wanjiru, a vegetable seller in Mombasa's Bangla Pesa network. During a slow week when Kenyan shillings are tight, she issues a Community Asset Voucher - a commitment to provide vegetables - and deposits it into a communal pool. Her neighbor, a carpenter named Kamau, redeems it. He offers his own labor in return. The loop closes. Food reaches a family that needed it. A roof gets repaired. No national currency changes hands.This is not a workaround. It is a return to how value was always supposed to move.Since Grassroots Economics was established in 2010, they have supported 26,600 people across 290+ communities, issuing over 2,140 vouchers. Their protocol is inspired by indigenous Rotational Labor Associations similar to Kenya's mwethya and harambee traditions. It is open-source and blockchain-agnostic - meaning any community, anywhere, can deploy it.The Choice in Front of UsThese regenerative endeavors share one answer to the core assumption of the extractive economy: the economy does not need to extract in order to function. Value can circulate and regenerate rather than accumulate. Ecological health, community resilience, and the wellbeing of the next generations are not costs to minimize - they are the actual metrics that demonstrate economic success.The question is no longer whether it is possible. It is happening. The question is whether enough of us choose to participate in building it, and whether we remember our roles as stewards of the Earth that has always sustained us.We get to choose the future we want for ourselves, our children, and the seven generations that come after.Your Role in the Regenerative EconomyReading this is already a kind of remembering. The question that follows is simple: where do you begin?The regenerative economy is not waiting to be invented. It is waiting to be joined. Every one of the models described here started with a small group of people who decided to practice a different relationship with value - before it was proven, before it was popular, before it was funded.Here are real entry points, available now:Start with your immediate circle. Identify three skills or resources you have in excess - time, knowledge, food from a garden, tools sitting unused. Offer them. Ask for what you need in return. This is Ayni. It requires no platform, no signup, no permission.Relocalize your spending. Every dollar (fiat currency) that circulates inside a local economy multiplies its impact without leaving the community. Farmers markets, community-supported agriculture, local cooperatives, regenerative small businesses - these are not lifestyle choices. They are votes for a different system, cast weekly.Find or start a Time Bank in your area. hOurworld.org and TimeBanks.org maintain active directories. If nothing exists near you, starting one requires little more than a spreadsheet and a Telegram/Whatsapp group.Join a community working on this. It can be our Regenerative Leadership Community from www.regenerativeculture.life is one place. There are others - transition towns, ecovillages, commons networks - in most regions of the world. Find your people. The regenerative economy is, at its root, a relationship economy. It does not work alone.Learn the language. Permaculture design, commons governance, cooperative economics, sacred reciprocity - these are not abstract concepts. They are practical skills with deep traditions behind them. The more fluent you become, the more useful you are to the communities building this.The scale of what needs to change can feel paralyzing. It is not meant to. The models described in this article did not begin at scale. Mondragon began with six people. Grassroots Economics began in one neighborhood in Mombasa. The Quechua did not design Ayni for a movement - they designed it for a harvest.Start where you are. With what you have. With whoever is near you. That has always been enough to begin. It's not easy, but it is possible.Written by Gertie Farenas and Yoshi Pantera - 90% by us humans and 10% AI assisted.This Audio is recorded by a true voice - Yoshi PanteraThis article is part of the Regenerative Culture Chronicle - a publication exploring the ideas, practices, and communities building a world that benefits all life.Learn more at RegenerativeCulture.LifeThanks for reading Regenerative Culture Chronicle!
